Each plant grows under our careful attention to ensure quality, beauty, and resilience, enriching your Garden Center.
We take care of them from seed to plant
1st YEAR
In our first year of cultivation, we initiate the process by producing seedlings directly from seeds. Our primary goal at this stage is to facilitate and optimize the delicate germination of the seeds. To achieve this, we meticulously collect Catalpa Bignonioides seeds from our highest-quality parent plants. These seeds are then placed in our dedicated germination area, with proper fertilization and a light soil covering to maintain the ideal temperature. Once the seedlings reach sufficient growth, we proceed with their transfer to the next phase in our cultivation fields.
2nd YEAR
During the second year of life, we introduce the first pruning as an integral part of our care approach for Catalpa. Subsequently, the plant continues its natural development, focusing growth to strengthen the root system. This phase aims to ensure balanced and robust growth, promoting the overall health of Catalpa Bignonioides. Our attention to targeted pruning and development management contributes to creating resilient and well-rooted plants, preparing them for the subsequent phases of their life cycle.
3rd YEAR
In the third year, we perform a second pruning to define dimensions and heights according to our high-quality standards. Simultaneously, we introduce innovation by grafting Catalpa Bungei and Catalpa Aurea onto Catalpa Bignonioides plants. This strategy aims to enhance the shape and appearance of the plants while also contributing to the creation of unique specimens through increased genetic diversity.
4th YEAR
In the fourth year, our Catalpa trees reach maturity, signaling the ideal time for the pruning and digging process. Once the overall production status is assessed, we collaborate with the customer to determine the optimal delivery time. Our specialized team carefully handles the organization of the shipment, ensuring a meticulous and cautious loading process. This approach aims to preserve the well-being of the plants during transportation and maximize loading space efficiency. Our priority is to ensure that the Catalpa trees reach their new environment in optimal condition, meeting the expectations of our customers.
